155 Chapter 155 - Information Age

“Quickly eat that mushroom!”

“Wait… that’s a monster! That’s not a mushroom that you can eat!”

Inside the Hearthstone Tavern’s office. Joshua was holding a cup of fruit juice that he used ‘freeze magic’ on as he looked at Ciri and Tylene crowded before a small screen fighting over a ‘game controller.’

“That strange star will give you invincibility once you eat it! No! Use fireballs to destroy those mushroom monsters ahead first!”

Ciri was instructing Tylene on how to play Super Mario. The frost elf was acting completely flustered as she held a rectangular originium crystal ‘controller’ and pressed upon it nonstop.

There were no buttons on the controller. Instead, there were rune inscriptions on various locations. Upon touching the rune inscriptions, a corresponding command will be entered into the magic network.

It seemed like Tylene was still not very skilled with controlling the small plumber on the screen. She received the GAMEOVER screen several times in succession.

‘Voodoo Snake. Register.’

‘Flameweaver Alchemist. Register.’

‘Camping Sect. Register.’

……

The post was only posted for over two hours. Yet, there were over a hundred responses already.

Joshua closed the post and entered the back-end to check out the total amount of people registered in the magic network right now. During the morning time, there were only twenty-seven people. Now that it was approaching 4PM, the number of registered users had reached one thousand seven hundred and twenty-one.

This number was still rapidly increasing by two or three every second. The magic network had begun to gradually spread. The mages of Norland finally had their wishes fulfilled. After they stepped into the Industrial Age, they’ve entered the Information Age!

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

The amount of posts on the Mage Forum also began to rapidly increase…

Currently, there were over a hundred people following Gallolei’s camp. Once Gallolei made that post, over a dozen comments appeared in a short few minutes. While that number was pitifully small compared to the top microbloggers on earth who possessed millions of fans following them, the camp system has only just started being popularized in this world.

Joshua believed that this Black Swan’s charm would lure a lot of people already paying attention to her to join the magic network.

Joshua took a glance at the comments below. He saw that the majority of them were exclaiming in surprise and asking if it was really Miss Gallolei.

‘The last time I saw Miss Gallolei, it was when I was watching the performance of ‘By the Beautiful Lake Crowe’ in Farucci’s capital.’

‘Who is Mister Joshua?!’

Gallolei was most definitely capable of being considered as the goddess of the people from Farucci. On top of that, with the screening of ‘Léon: The Demon,’ her influence had increased from the Nation of Arts to the entire world.

Although Joshua felt that it wasn’t great that his name had appeared on Gallolei’s camp, he didn’t bother to submit a reply.

The number of users on the magic network was gradually increasing. Not long, the entire city of Norland will surge with a craze to join the magic network.

Joshua felt that he should be concerned with how to provide a sufficient amount of nourishment for the magic network’s server. Else, if too many users joined and the server suddenly crashed from overuse, compensation Hearthstone packs would not be able to solve the issue at all.

“Ahh… I died again…”

Tylene let go of the controller with disappointment. Compared to Ciri, this elven lady does not possess much talent for games.

Joshua deliberately incorporated rankings for the minigames in the Games Special District. Ciri’s forum name was stably taking the first place spot. That being said, there weren’t any other attempts at the games yet.
